Guitarist Abdullah Ghosheh commented: "I was glad when the guys of Grindbor contacted us to make this deal. And since we know the guys and what they're capable of, I'm sure this will be right thing to do. I believe this will be a great start for both Viieden and Grindbor Records and I’m looking forward to working with them."

He added: "The composition of our upcoming full length album is almost done, we’ll start recording soon and hopefully everything goes as planned. The record mainly consists of eight tracks we can only describe as heavy as shit, delivering Death Metal to the listener our way."
